Mrs. Kosters' 3rd grade class got in on today's Christmas fun by decorating cookies. I wonder if any will be saved for Santa?

Mrs. Clause was able to celebrate a Positive Office Referral at the Lower today. She had a busy day!

The Lower has a special visitor today! Mrs. Clause heard the elves and Santa's helpers were visiting, so she came to join the fun!

Fresh Egg Sale!

Our WINGS and Alternative Education hens have started laying! We’ll have 3.5 dozen eggs available for pick-up tomorrow, Friday (12/12/25) at the WINGS classroom — 2 cartons with a dozen eggs each and one 18-count carton.

These early eggs are medium-sized with thinner shells, so we’re offering them at a reduced price:
• $2 per dozen
• $3 per 18-count

To claim your eggs, email Keelee Martin at klmartin@ridgerunners.net.
The first three people to schedule a pick-up time will receive the eggs.

All proceeds support our Life Skills Activity Fund, which helps maintain our chicken coops, supplies, and Life Skills classroom materials.

Thank you for your support! 🐓🥚
